chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/13/2015 8:09 pm I love that design (franc) and the Saint-Gaudens double eagle ... that '19 is a stunning coin! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 10/13/2015 8:09 pm I have always liked the designs on certain Italian coins... The Vatican also make some nice coins... (I'm only posting the reverses for these) This is why artists study in Italy!! Edited by CoinCollector2012 10/13/2015 8:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Misterpostman Valued Member Australia 208 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 09:19 am My favorite is the Walking Liberty half. The obverse is excellent (that is why it was chosen for the American Silver Eagle) I am usually not a fan of "body shots" on coins (they don't wear well,, F or lower grades especially) , but this is probably the best one. I like the reverse even better. IMHO, it is the best eagle design on any US coin, and there have been MANY. Also, it is a fairly large coin, whereas the "Mercury" dime, although a good design, is quite small. Edited by Misterpostman 10/14/2015 09:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 2:19 pm I have recently grown to appreciate the skill that was put into the gold coins of Rome's golden age: Just the thought that an engraver sat down with a pick to carve each individual fold and ripple in Juno's gown... that level of attention to detail was not seen again for over a thousand years.

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 2:49 pm The Canadian Golden Jubilee 50 cent piece double dated 1952-2002 is one of my favourite coins. It features the coat of arms, royal cipher and a young crowned Queen Mother. Here is the first one that came up when I looked it up on ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Canada-1952-...em1a03fed674 Report this Post to the Staff
